These programs work on cutting edge health-related issues, including COVID-19 pandemic response, measles, food safety warnings, and illegal tobacco sales to children. The programs the PHP Team supports include most of CDPH's 200 programs (the programs we support range from Alzheimer's to Zika, literally from "A to Z"). The variety of programs makes the legal work interesting and stimulating. By supporting CDPH's efforts to protect and improve the health of Californians you will be part of the team that makes a positive difference in the health of everyone in California.
